I love the interwebs. Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, and Reddit are great for spreading reason to those who are already atheists. Yeah, that’s right; when you post a cool Hitchens quote on you social media the people who see it and ‘like,’ ‘plus,’ and ‘retweet’ it are probably all (or mostly) atheists.

Christians hand out tracts to unbelievers and the apathetic in the hopes that they will win converts. Atheists have some tracts too, but they are wordy and boring. We need new tracts that will get people’s attention and hold their interest.

The best part is that it is practically already done. I see great meme pictures on my social media feeds all the time that feature awesome quotes from awesome atheists. Even Mylie Cyrus posted one. So I think I’m going to start making business card sized tracts out of some of these memes. I haven’t worked out the specifics yet, but look for atheist meme tracts of this sort soon on Dangerous Talk.

If you have any that you think are particularly awesome, please let me know. I don’t want ones that say, “Hey look, I’m a famous person and I’m an atheist.” I want them to be hard hitting arguments or counter-arguments. Keep them short, sweet, and blasphemous!

No, atheism occurs when people think for two seconds about the ridiculousness of the religious system they were indoctrinated into.

Thanks for chiming in HERETIC. I can understand if yourself or perhaps your family was persucated sometime ago in history as there were stiff pentalies for heretics. But keep in mind heretic you can only say these kinda things in free countries. Your belief system (if thats what its called) will never help to make me pray five times a day in America!

1. Persecution of atheists was common in the middle ages and in Nazi Germany.

2. Christianity has nothing to do with the freedoms enjoyed in democracies.

3. So you’re the Heretic? Or did I miss something.

That’s your history lesson or you just playing Pocket Ball, Papercut Timmie?

Christianity has enjoyed a vast history all the way back to Sans Scrip fighting against the heathen. You speak of what you know nothing about hollow little man! Freedom and liberty are bourne from Christianity. You get an “F” in this class Papercut Timmie.

Tell that to the ancient Greeks.

Hard to tell what your bumble fuck statement means? The Greeks believed in a God for many, many different things. How about you atheists just take your pocketball game to a new level and just realize your brainwashed!

So wait, you are admitting that Zeus is the one true god? Okay, that’s interesting.

True is that I was brainwashed. I was raised religious from before I could walk and talk. But I’m better now.

Your Arse bone seems to be connected to your jaw bone heretic. Admit, no correcting your history. So I simply am giving you an “F” too in this class.

So, would you like to found your arguments based on things other than ad hominems?

I have smoked you like a cheap Havana boy. Are you a mental retard that I am talking to, as you make no sense?

Riddle me this, why are there billions of Christians, and your a nobody?

Lol, you schooled me by ignoring every point I made. Great job. There are billions of Christians. No debate there. But that doesn’t mean they are right. Popularity doesn’t equal correctness. When people are raised to believe before they can walk and talk, they will almost certainly continue to believe their entire lives. Also, religion has become an identity rather than a belief. It is hard to get people to change their identity.

Tim Tian

Why were there millions of Germans during WWI? And WWII? Just because more people believe in it doesn’t make it right. If you can’t understand what ad hominem means, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ad+hominem

1. It still does not change the fact that as much as they were oppressed (and even more, which you may find hard to believe), they were the oppressors.
Oh, and Christianity didn’t exist before 0 BCE, while many other religions did.

1. Freedom predates the founding of America… by a lot. The Greeks came up with the first democratic society. America came up with the first secular society. That brings me to…
2. America is not a Christian Nation. It is a secular nation in which most of the people living in it are Judeo-Christian. Our Constitution is secular and some of our most prominent founders were deists.
3. Wikipedia is a valid source for basic information. However, it is not a scholarly source. But for a basic rundown on a particular issue, Wikipedia is perfectly valid most of the time.

You keep going back to Greeks about religion though, and again they believed in many gods. Your point is moot as is your attempt to shift my meanings and changing my words. I find you a boring double talking heretic and would send you back into time if I could so you could get what you truely deserve! May, Hail and Brimstone be in your path forever loser!

I can feel the Christian love. Thanks.

Yes, the Greeks believed in a pantheon of Gods with Zeus as the king of the Gods. They also invented democracy and championed freedom and individual liberty. You claimed America invented these things and you are factually wrong.

Again, Wikipedia is a great source for basic information. They are not a scholarly source, but if you just want to know the basic background about something they are a great source and it is perfectly acceptable to use them for that purpose. On issues that are in contention within a particular field, then Wiki isn’t very good at all. Maybe you should spend some time on that site and you might actually learn some stuff.

Tim Tian

No self-respecting person can seriously say that the United States of America was a Christian nation. The US was first founded as a penal colony, and later gained independence through a war. Now, the people on the winning side of the war, religious though they are, were firmly in favor of a secular government, the so called separation of church and state was implemented. Yes, anyone can edit wikipedia, and some people do so maliciously. If it is a popular topic, the edit is usually reverted with in minutes. Also, you are off topic because the link I posted was uploaded to the Wikimedia website and independently sourced. Nor was it part of my argument. It was just a reminder to stay civil, which you seem to have trouble doing.

I don’t know why this is considered off topic when all I was doing was refuting the very points you made. If you have trouble reading the points I made, please tell me. I will simplify them to your reading level. (Of course, an example of your reading level would help)

http://skepticink.com/dangeroustalk Dangerous Talk

I just want to make one minor correction to Tim which really has nothing to do with the argument. The US was never a penal colony. I think you are thinking of Australia.

Tim Tian

Sorry, scrap the penal part. They still were receiving prisoners, though the war of independence stopped that. A few years later, the Brits find another place to stick their prisoners…
